“Try Me Out” by Corona is an earworm I can’t get enough of right now. It’s another gem I discovered courtesy of Spotify and a nineties workout mix I listen to while stretching in the morning.

Corona’s “The Rhythm of the Night” is one of my all-time favorite songs, so I was happy to find another tune of theirs. This video version of “Try Me Out” is slightly different than the one on Spotify (it is this version), but it’s mostly the same thing.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: the song “The Rhythm of the Night” was released two years before The Rhythm of the Night, the album it appears on.

A thing I’ve noticed about Spotify playlists: they often suck. The nineties workout mix I found is pretty good, but it includes songs I would never put on a workout mix; Ace of Base’s “All That She Wants” might not make mine. A workout mix should have a minimum BPM. Also, the lists change almost every day, so the songs are in a different order or feature new songs. It messes with me. I like consistency.

I am 37, quiet, and shy. My obsession is everyday life. I love the small and mundane. I'm easily pleased.
As a kid, when my family took long trips, I entertained myself by looking out the car window, admiring the landscape we passed. I studied the farm houses, the barns, the faces of people in small towns, and the rows of corn and beans blanketing the Iowa countryside. I tried capturing every last detail as my eyes roved from one thing to another.
That's me.
